The Decision Effect

In September 2012, Lewis Hamilton officially announced to change the team: he quit at McLaren and agreed to drive for Mercedes. It was a very challenging decision: concerning the Mercedes team, Lewis had to work his way up from scratch, because he was new to the team. McLaren was a successful F1 brand, Mercedes wasn´t. In late 2012, fans, experts and other people discussed his decision as a potential step backwards.

Today, 2 years later, Lewis Hamilton won his second title as F1 world champion! Congratulations!!

3 days ago, the American President Obama announced his decision to avoid deporting 5 Millionen illegal people living in the U.S. because America was and is a country made of immigrants. He stated that the immigration system is broke by now and runs outdated. U.S. politics now discuss whether he´s allowed to take such a decision as a President on his own – or not. Fact is, he did decide about it.

Results will show up in the future. Is there any risk about it?

William Gilley wrote a poem and mentioned a figure he called “Santeclaus” in 1821. It looks like he simply decided to create a new figure to entertain the people. In his fantasy he mention this guy in a flying sled, pulled by flying reindeer. Did he have any idea what he created with his decision for ongoing centuries? No. But he made the decision.

Today, Santa Claus is cult. He´s THE Christmas figure accepted and celebrated half around the world.
